He was behind the switch against Chelsea
Downside after two minutes.
Then Stina Plakstenius was behind Arsenal’s conversion in the League Cup final against Chelsea.
The Swede was responsible for the equalizer as Arsenal won 3-1 and saved the title.
At a sold-out Selhurst Park, the players barely had time to put their boots on before the first goal was scored. Striker Sam Kerr of Chelsea took the lead at the far post and headed in just two minutes later.
But Stina Blackstenius will make sure the bullets don’t last long.
Bounce on Ericsson
Magdalena Ericsson, who was wearing the captain’s armband for Chelsea, blocked a shot. But it was no better than the ball going straight to Plaxtenius, who scored the equaliser.
An important goal from the Swede, who also became the hero with the only goal of the match in the semi-final against Manchester City.
Target not allowed
Plaxtenius put another ball into the net, but it was ruled offside. But the result was less significant.
Kim Little made it 2–1 from the penalty spot and at the end of the first half, Niamh Charles scored an own goal and Arsenal went into half-time with a two-goal lead.
The final score was also 3-1, and Arsenal’s Swede Blackstenius, Lena Hurtig and coach Jonas Idival rounded out the weekend with a title celebration.
Hortig spent the entire match on the bench at Arsenal. The same applies to Zizera Mosovic of Chelsea. Johanna Retting-Canried was substituted in the 63rd minute.
